btw that last link I added was a pdf with a lot of awesome information in it. You don't have to look at it or anything but I just wanted to let you know that's where I found most of the data. We might need some discussion questions and that is it. Should we do some throughout the presentation or just all of them at the end?

Shannon Ebert

sounds great to me! sorry I'm a visual person lol Do you just want to start the presentation and finish with the two land drone slides? That would be 1-7 for you and I will do 8-15? I feel like that a good splitting point and decently equal??

Jim Northrup

Shannon, just wow! How were you able to insert GIFs into this presentation! I LOVE IT. Great job. I also really liked the economic impact part, and all the additions you made. Outstanding work. I am fine with splitting the presentation up however you like. Might be easiest to split it down the middle, each of us taking half? I can take the first half and you can take the second? Or whatever you prefer. Nice job again, very impressive work!

Shannon Ebert

Jim you killed this powerpoint! What else can I do to contribute? I still need to read this presentation over but just looking it seems like you put in a lot of work. I will add as much as I can and give some feedback thanks so much!

Jim Northrup

Shannon, take a look and modify things as you see fit. I really really like your TED talk on drones. I have it at the end so it resonates with our audience and is fresh in their memories when we ask them questions. If you think it would be better suited in beginning or middle, that's fine by me as well. I'll let you take a look and then we can create a plan of attack for the presentation. Thanks! Jim

WHAT IS A DRONE?Drone: (noun) any unmanned aircraft, ship, or vehicle that can

navigate autonomously beyond line of sight either with or without human inputs

Current perceptions of drones range from positive to extremely negative

Companies view them as efficient future logistics optimization tools

Certain nations view them very negatively because of civilian losses due to unmanned drone missile attacks

Vision from 2013

Future delivery system designed to safely get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using drones

Amazon claims government regulatory support needed for them to achieve their vision

Cheaper, safer, faster

LAND-BASED DELIVERYMEN OF THE FUTURE

Starship Technologies, launched by co-founders of Skype

Already delivering packages to homes in the United Kingdom

Testing in United States in May 2016

Moves at 4 mph using 9 on board cameras to detect people and objects

Recipient recognition capabilities

Currently unnamed; naming contest online

DOMINO’S AUTONOMOUS PIZZA DELIVERYAustralian tech startup Marathon Targets has

built an autonomous pizza delivery robot unit (DRU)

Domino’s DRU is currently testing in Queensland, Australia

Compartments for hot and cold food

Compliant with federal, state, and local regulations

Human operators can warn vandals that they are being filmed and authorities are on the way

FACEBOOK’S DRONE - INTERNET FOR ALLIn July 2015, Facebook revealed that it had

completed a full-size version of its solar-powered Aquila drone

Wingspan equivalent to a Boeing 737 jetliner

GOOGLE - PROJECT WINGCommercial drone service

Launching in 2017

Teaming up with NASA to avoid FAA bureaucratic red tape

FAA regulations prohibit drone operation for commercial uses; private use is currently allowed

ISSUES / CONSTRAINTSFAA traffic headaches - small sizes hard for radar detection

Governments slow to address lack of regulations

High incentive to steal $1000+ devices

Separate air traffic control needs

Drone registry

Vandals

POTENTIAL BENEFITSDrones could help farmers prioritize where to apply fertilizer

Help large companies monitor their assets and energy infrastructure

Enable emergency response teams to quickly map the extent of damage after natural disasters

Engineering, surveying, and architecture

Film, video, and photography

DISCUSSION QUESTIONSFACT: Drones are happening

How ought this be regulated?

In terms of commercial use, how would this impact our daily lives?

How can drones be used as a life-saving emergency response resource?

What arising issues do you see with the use of drones?

Would you buy one for personal use, and how might you use it?
